Did you ever beat Emerald or Ruby in VII?
What about Ultima or Omega in VIII?

double cast knights of round gg

>>713131216 (OP)
ultima isn't in the same league as those other three.

>>713131216 (OP)
>Emerald
I actually fought this one straight up. No tricks, no gimmicks. Even did it without the Underwater Materia. It was a fucking great fight

>Ruby
I abused Hades and Knights of the Round. I'm sorry /v/

>>713131216 (OP)
No.

>>713131216 (OP)
of course, figuring out how to kill them was about the only time the game pushed the battle system in regular play

>>713131476
how can you kill emerald without any trick or gimmick you'll just get fucked by airetam

>>713131216 (OP)
I beat emerald and wanted to beat ruby without using mime or some cheesy stuff like that. I should go back and do it

>>713131216 (OP)
Yes i printed out a guide on how to do it. The chocobo breeding nearly filtered me even at that age and enthusiasm level. I don't know how anyone could do it without outside help. I mean some on the level of speedrunning autism could, I guess, but the time investment would be absurd.

>>713131216 (OP)
>Did you ever beat Emerald or Ruby in VII?
nope
>>713131216 (OP)
>What about Ultima or Omega in VIII?
easily

>>713131216 (OP)
>>713131476
I am pretty sure exploiting overpower summons is theo nyl way to beat the optional Weapons, especially Ruby unless you are good with your timing and keeping Ruby Stopped.

>>713131693
>easily beat omega
>can't beat emerald and ruby
who are you trying to convince?

I beat Ultima and Omega in a no-level up game. Haven't played 7.

>>713131216 (OP)
yes. omega in 8 is a tier above the other 3, especially ultima 8 who isn't even as hard as some of ultimecia's castle bosses

>>713131602
aire tam storm is a programmed counter to summon magic iirc

The only super boss that I've ever beaten in a game is that one guy in Super Mario RPG , dunno how anyone figured out how to beat these guys back then without a guide , same with secrets in all games released before 2006

No i was busy having sex

>>713132051
it might come off as a shock to jeets like you but we had internet in the 90s

>Ultima and Omega in VIII vanilla
The forced monster encounters leading up to Ultima are harder than Ultima.
Omega can be cheesed pretty easily but hes hard as fuck otherwise especially on the OG ps1 version where hes always level 100. Hes the only actually challenging boss in FF8 aside from maybe that tank in the missile base or Edea disc 2 if you're unprepared.

>Ultima and Omega in VIII Requiem
Even if you know the game back to front and use every cheese imagineable its going to be luck based.

>>713131216 (OP)
Oh hey look, another completely organic, totally not SE paid shill created Faggot Trantasy thread.

>>713132312
>post about end bosses of 30 years old games
>paid shill
you are mentally unwell

>>713131216 (OP)
Ultima is a one shot in 8. He's just annoying (but not difficult) to get to.
>>713131761
NTA, but if you transmute the Laguna card, you get an assload of Heroes, and Omega can be brute forced. Emerald and Ruby require builds.

>>713132312
You got problems

>>713132051
I only beat it because the endgame shell armor breaks the game by having whoever wears it only take 1 damage.

ozma (ff9) is the most fun. dont fight him at the end game, try beat him earlier, as soon as you can get to him

ultima weapon from ff8 is kinda easy but if you're trying to draw ultimas he's hard

omega weapon from ff8 is a decent challenge if you're not cheating by using hero drinks/certain limit breaks

emerald weapon without resorting to cheese methods is a decent challenge (knights of round spam, cait sith etc)

ruby weapon without resorting to cheese can also be sort of challenging (if you havent spammed sources to get OP)

ffx dark aeons and the arena final bosses/penance are probably the hardest. try to beat them all without yojimbo and wakka

all pretty easy at the end of the day, but as a "normal" well adjusted human who isn't a sperg or sweat, those things should be a fun challenge

funny thing is we havent even gotten close or anywhere near how much fun turn based could be, the world just became retarded ASF and stopped making turned based games

>>713132870
>reddit spacing
>ff9 mentioned in the second word
Guess I don't have to read that.
Captcha: I sleep.

>>713131216 (OP)
Nope. By the time you get to that part of the game you’re generally ready for the game to be over so you can move on and play something else. At least for me.

>>713131216 (OP)
I used the best strategy my 8 year old brain could imagine at the time. Kill two of my party members before the battle, then use Phoenix.

>>713131216 (OP)
Haven't beat emerald or omega yet

>>713132969
Ruby has a cheap trick. If you get party members up to 9999 health, he does an attack that does 2222 damage, putting you in lucky 7s mode (meaning 7777 damage on every swing). Double Cut maxed and Tifa limit breaking makes it sexy).

>>713131216 (OP)
Killed all 4 as a kid, Ozma in FF9 too.
>>713131602
Have a character with less than 9 materia equiped going into the fight, it does 1111 per materia on the character.

I could only beat Ozma in 9.
Ruby and Emerald filtered me

>>713133786
>Have a character with less than 9 materia equiped going into the fight, it does 1111 per materia on the character.
that was my point, it's a trick/gimmick

minimum exp run is fun
dio's challenge to cloud at the battle arena was really tough to work out, but my lvl 8 cloud managed to clear it. aeris won him omnislash because no way could i consistently win with cloud, the little bitch. all exp goes to aeris cause that skank goes tits up half way though the game, allowing her to soak up unavoidable experience, such as with bosses or learning enemy skills.

Emerald weapon is all lucky 7s fodder
Ruby weapon is the actual super boss and can fuck you up just by you having all your party members alive at the start

>>713134087
i wish i could remember the materia i had equipped, but it was mostly hp plus, the required enemy skill, and something like added effect and odin. an mp plus or two, as well.

>>713133957
umm sir, the attack literally quad 9's your party if you have 9+ materia on them. There's no gimmick, that's the mechanic. Something like Final Attack Phoenix to survive it would be more of a gimmick in fact, and any method of doing enough DPS to avoid it (7777 setup+KOTR) would be super gimmicky.

>>713134319
Problem with Ruby is if you just walk into the fight with 2 members dead and then revive them at the start it's fairly easy.

>>713134319
>all lucky 7s
tf is that?

>>713134597
if you have 7777 hp your character will automatically do 64 strikes for 7777 damage each

>>713131216 (OP)
Killed all of them. Cheesed Omega with holy wars and I have no regrets. Im horrible in memorizing patterns

>>713134597
if a character's current HP equals 7777 at any point during a fight, they start attacking automatically dealing 7777 damage every attack

>>713131941
Wtf you can just stop ruby weapon? How do people have trouble with him if you can do that?

The last time I played VII the mechanics finally clicked enough that I beat Ruby with no guide. The trick is to use a master summon as well as KOTR to get a healing as well as counter attack, then mime if you get a turn. Caveat is he has to pick your character to fight, he can just toss two people. Beat him first try and felt amazing

>>713132291
Using the internet is the same shit as using a guide, smartypants

>>713134725
>>713134756
wild , I didn't even know this shit existed until now , probably because having 7777 hp is hard in the grand scheme of things but still this game is weird as hell man

>>713134973
the number 7 holds special significance in VII, it's all over the fucking place

>>713131216 (OP)
I beat Emerald and Ruby in VII. I beat Ultima in VIII and tussled with Omega a dozen times, but couldn't beat him.

>>713134853
He can still wake up and one shot you or drain you or whatever

>>713134725
>Look up all lucky 7s
>"If enemies enter a Lucky 7 state, their attacks will do 7,777 damage upon connecting with the player"
What in the goddamn

>>713131216 (OP)
Not only did I beat Emerald, I beat it before my friend who had a PS1 for two years before me. He was so mad it was awesome.

>>713131216 (OP)
i didn't even encounter them because i don't use guides

>>713134973
It's referenced in FFXIV's benchmark programs too, if your benchmark score ends on 7777 it'll start going rainbow colors and display 'FEVER!' next to it on the results screen

>>713135056
Omega is ten times harder. The strat for omega is insane. You have to have two characters defending during certain turns. It was designed to be beaten with a strat guide only.

>>713135151
nigger you meet them just by playing the game. emerald roam prominently underwater and ruby stick out like a sore thumb in the desert.

>>713135252
i didn't see yuffie till disc 3

>>713134853
Its paralysis and its bit wonky how it works. Ruby is an asshole that can break out of it really fast since its tied to dexterity and his stats are so high that his Ultima can wipe you even from high 7k hp. Oh and it doesnt work unless he has his tentacles on the ground, if his tentacles are not on the ground his defense is like 450 which even with max str and 4 herodrinks equals 0 damage dealt
>>713134973
Nah, easy speedrun trick is to have Yuffie with her ultimate weapon conformer on your party, enter any fight on world map, manipulate the enemy so they wont attack and then just lower characters health close to 7677, low level enemies do like 2-7 dmg to you at that point so you can just get 7680 or something like that and thats when Yuffie comes in. If she has her ultimate weapon equipped, she only does 1 dmg to party members, you can just chip the hp to 7677 to the characters you want and then escape battle. After that you are one potion away from mayhem. This way you can kill Emerald in under a minute with Barrets ungarmax and mime

>>713135151
Emerald is literally swimming underwater. Not seeing him probably requires more effort.

>>713131216 (OP)
what's the worst FF superboss? vercingetorix?

>>713131694
I abused the all lucky seven status and mimic for summons. It was such a clusterfuck that even the game didn’t registered the win for some reason.

>>713131983
>t. zoomer faggot

>>713135384
When you go looking for the sunken plane, he'll scare the shit out of you the first time.

Now that everyone is talking about it, I actually wonder if they are going to implement something similar to all lucky 7 in remake part 3

>>713135301
This proves that ff7 is shit and an illicit attempt from squaresoft to get rich by peddling guides along with game sales

>>713131216 (OP)
Yes to both back in the day. Even did emerald without knights of the round during one playthrough (quad cast demi, mimic)

When Emerald was blocking the way out when exiting the sunken helicopter I thought my playstation was haunted and couldn't sleep

>>713135229
>>713135056
Zell can fairly easily 3 shot him with quick reactions on his limit break and spamming up down, left right. Other characters cast Aura and Merton. Selphie can also 1 shot him just like everything else in the game.

>>713131602
Just don't max out on materia and you'll be fine
Which you shouldn't do anyways, since the stat debuffs from tons of unnecessary materia adds up
I've done Emerald with no cheese, too, all it really takes is understand how Air Tam works, and some haste.
I have never been able to restrain myself from cheesing Ruby, though. Something about just fucking stunlocking him with dazers makes me giggle every time.

>kids back then were so starved for games they wasted 100hrs on this menu flipping

>>713137438
>all it really takes is understand how Air Tam works
that is extremely opqaue because you can't access your materia menu mid battle, made worse by the damage cap at 9999 hiding any effect having materia equipped has unless you have 8 or fewer equipped
i got around it as a kid with phoenix+final attack

>>713131216 (OP)
If you looked up a guide and didn't figure out how to beat Emerald and Ruby yourself, you didn't beat them btw

>>713137562
>he's entertained by sequences of luminous flickering dots arranged in a grid

>>713135763
FF6 has better graphics newfag

>>713137663
i dunno, printing out fan-made gamefaqs/gamesages ascii guides and putting them into a binder was pretty comfy back in the day

>>713136586
>quick reaction etc

Not even guaranteed. Dogshit strat. The boss was made to be played the way they wanted the guide to be written

>>713131216 (OP)
I did, but I gotta admit I had to look up online at gamefaqs how to do it.

On the other hand, I was able to beat Emerald without the underwater materia.

I used cheat engine because I can't be assed to grind and get all the gear

>>713134331
I had fun doing a no materia FFVII run, even if it isn't incredibly difficult (Carry Armor being the worst of it). It certainly had a lot more strategy to it than a no-junction game in FFVIII.

>>713137723
was Brachiosaur FF6's ultimate challenge?

>>713138176
The fuck does that have to do with ff7's ass fart graphics?

>>713138312
ff7 had great battle graphics, which only improved further in 8 and 9

I never beat emerald because the OFFICIAL STRATEGY GUIDE didnt fucking tell you how his gimmick worked

>>713138364
Secret of mana had better battle graphics than ff7. ff7 is the worst case for any 3D game out there

>>713137746
Not to mention difficult if you didn't have a printer.

>>713137836
It's 100% guaranteed, even only getting 3 attacks off per second you only need an average of less than 12 seconds per limit to do enough damage. If you're quick enough to hit 5/second you can actually 1 shot him provided the limit rolls more than 20 seconds.

I beat ruby and emerald in FF7 but they really weren't too bad. Cool fights though

>>713131761
>meltdown > aura > kill
how fucking hard is that?

>>713131216 (OP)
>Did you ever beat Emerald or Ruby in VII?
Yes.

Yes.
>Ozma and Hades in IX
Yes.

>>713138463
FF7 looks great, are you thinking of a different game by chance?

>>713135116
Because poison ticks count as self inflicted damage, the speedrun strat for Materia Keeper is to poison it, carefully bring to it to 7777HP and watch it die after a few seconds.

>>713138408
Well fuck me, I thought it would have had something useful about the weapons but you are right. The info the guide gives you is nearly useless
https://archive.org/details/Final-Fantasy-VII-Versus-Guide

>>713138771
Popeye the sailor man looks better than cloud. combat graphics or not, you spend most of your time walking in a FF game. So you mostly see triangle things in ff7. Ass graphics

>>713132294
The real fun is drawing 100 ultimates.

I haven't even gotten past bone town. I've tried several times to beat the game but I always stop after aerith leaves. Not because she leaves, but because that's when I start getting bored. I have beaten I through VI several times each (and different versions of most of them) but I can not get over the VII hurdle. It's not like the materia or limit break systems don't interest me, I just....move on and don't go back for a year or two. Why is this

I think I beat Emerald Weapon once
time limits in boss battles still stress me out way more than they should

>>713135301
When I was a kid all the guides you'd find online said she was available outside Temple of the Ancients. Was pissed to learn you can get her before Junon

>>713138907
Are you talking about Final Fantasy 7? The graphics in that game are great, it looks beautiful!

>Aire Tam is Materia backwards
>this was your hint it was a Materia = Damage gimmick

>>713131602
Pretty sure I just killed him with straight up attacking and casting heals. Double cut, attack all, back row, and attack up materias maxed on everyone. It was easy.

>>713139689
Oh fugg I always just 9999/999 and healed after he killed 2/3 of the party

now respond to the second half of what I said

>>713140030

This is the most retarded argument of all time

>>713138463

Yeah I have some advice quit being a complete retarded fucking miserable nigger and coming into a thread about a 30 year old game and bitching about the graphics. Yes I have been trolling for you and you’re a literal autistic nigger retard, you legitimately need to go outside and touch grass you autistic fucking retard.

>>713141541

FF7 looks great!

>>713132870
>omega weapon from ff8 is a decent challenge if you're not cheating by using hero drinks/certain limit breaks
I killed him during the PS1 days cause Phoenix showed up twice to rez me after his huge attack.
I don't even know what the odds on that is.

>>713141870
ff7 is basically the nu-star trek
The only thing it did right was show how much better things where in the past

>>713141832
the ff7 boy is stylized, iconic. I much prefer it over how exact ff8 overworld sprites are

>>713141983
FF7 does have a sci-fi aesthetic similar to Star Trek (kind of?) and yeah there are older games that are good and look great and FF7 also looks beautiful!

>>713142027
>the ff7 boy is stylized, iconic.
what does that mean?

>>713142107
Mad esl phoneposter who keeps saying everyone is shilling a 30 year old game. Just ignore the retard and maybe he goes away

>>713131216 (OP)
Never beat Emerald because time constraints stress me out but I beat Ruby.

I have a memory of beating Ultima Weapon in my bed on my PSOne

I was in elementary school, I was too stupid to figure it out. Same with Omega Weapon

>>713142194
How else are you supposed to respond to a prompt that thinks it's mortal?

>>713142463
Why are the cpu prongs glowing?

Zidane is the most powerful FF main character. Everyone besmirches him because the encounter loading screens in his game sucks, and that makes FF9 suck. But think about it. Kuja razed a planet with Ultima. Grand Lethal looks very similar to Ultima, and they're bred from the same stock. Grand Lethal is a planet buster, and denying it is retarded. In power tier lists people wank Cloud for being able to parry bullets or Butz for being fucking awesome or Cecil because people love FF4 even though Cecil sucks. But if we're being serious, can anyone defeat Zidane? He would have solved every other FF game in an hour.

>>713142767
was it a sword tail?

>>713131216 (OP)
I beat Emerald in straight combat like a decade after finishing FFVII. I think I used quadra-magic and Demi to bring his HP down and then killed him with physical attacks. Used limits to kill the eyes that woke up.

I don't remember how I beat ruby weapon, I think it was spamming omnislash as Cloud. But it was shortly after Emerald because it was my revenge run on bosses I couldn't beat as a kid.

Never finished off Omega because I've yet to fully replay FFVIII and get back to him, I finished the game on release and was going to kill him with a huge stockpile of Holy Wars but felt like that was cheesing it.

>>713141832
FF7 is definitely short of being good, but there's far worse (2, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16).

>>713143694
8 is also worse. It having the best music does not preclude it from being a shit game.

>>713144973
It wasn't in the choices for that table, and I didn't want to make my own.

>>713144973
Based. Mystic Quest is the first game I remember finishing. I definitely played other games prior, on my Grandmother's Vectrex or Atari, but Mystic Quest is the first I can remember finishing and using actual strategy for over brute force.

I love these end-game super bosses, but outside of Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts I don't really know any other games that do it (this is your cue to recommend me games that do).

>>713131216 (OP)
Yeah did emerald and ruby.
didn't use any of the end game stuff, did them both before breeding a golden chocobo (you get one from beating ruby, iirc?) for knights of the round

>>713138408
a lot of the official guides were pretty shit back in the day. they never had an actual tactics or understanding of game mechanics. it was always just "beat him. if you cant, grindlol"

ff8s junction system is just the materia system expanded to affect your stats

>>713135229
you can also time GF summons so they take the Terra Break damage and beat Omega without Defend or Holy Wars/Heroes

>>713131602
Airetam deals fixed damage based on number of materia the character has equipped. If you have max HP 9999, you can equip 9 or less materia per character, and most likely one of them being HP plus to get to max health of 9999.

Easy way to kill Emerald outside glitched weapons of Vincent and Barret's, is simply use multi-attacks 4xCut and Slash All, with Counter Attacks and Limit Breaks.

When I was younger I would go through the effort of setting up multi-KOTR and Final Attack+Phoenix. But as and adult, I simply use Cloud, Barret and Cid because of their high attack and multi-hit limits. If you multi-attack and Limit Break, and have less than 9 materia per character, you can easily kill Emerald faster than with KOTR and Phoenix+Final Attack

For Ruby, Dazer items work on it. And with W-Item glitch you can multiply your Dazer stock during the battle.

>>713131216 (OP)
Yes when I was a kid.
Red and Cid hit lucky sevens on Emerald and wrecked him without me touching the controller.
Cloud Solo'd Ruby with 4x cut and final attack + revive.
FF8 Ultima and Omega was just aura and limit breaks

>TFW the last hit before the kill was Omnislash
Kino...
>What about Ultima or Omega in VIII?
Never finished FF8. Made it past Disc 1, and was about to continue but my memory card file got corrupted.

>>713132870
I beat Ozma while having 2 of my characters accidentally wear the 0 stat beach wear. I used Quina's Frog Drop, Freya's Dragon Crest, Zidane's Thievery and Steiner's Shock. Honestly, Ozma is the least interesting super boss of any Final Fantasy.

And FFIX Boss Music is step down from the older ones.

>KOTR-HP Absorb Mime-Counter is the only strat that works.
True or false?

>>713149354
>FF6 Boss music: pumped
>FF7 Boss music: pumped
>FF8 Boss music: pumped
What the fuck were they thinking with FF9. Listening to it just reminds me how slow the battles are and the trial of stealing.

>>713149551
False. If you have too many materia Airetam will kill you because of the fixed damage despite you having max health. Plus Emerald can drain your MP with its eye attacks.

4cut, Counter Attacks and limit breaks where's it at.

>>713132870
>ozma (ff9) is the most fun
Seriously? I accidentally activated it while dicking around (on disk 3), thing was obsessed with murdering Zidane and Freya with his Lvl5 damage spell so the whole fight was Garnet raising and Steiner attacking, then I won.

>>713149769
Emerald Weapon is too fast. He just murders everyone with his lasers.

I beat them because ps4 allows you to play with infinite health and limit break if you press l3+r3
I used that a lot because I didn't feel like redoing 20 minute bosses or losing an hour of progress

>>713150017
False. Nowadays I just kill it with Cloud, Barret and Cid using multihits, counterattacks and limitbreaks. Setting up maxed KoTR, Phoenix and Finsl Attack takes too much grinding. You get plenty of Counter Attacks by the time you reach Emerald and it's easy to get access to multi-hit limit breaks

And honestly, who has patience to watch KoTR for 8 times?

My friend had been trying to beat Emerald Weapon for a week when I did that and he about cried.
Then I used Cait Sith's ultimate to one shot Ruby and now we aren't talking anymore

I admit. I payed Kojimbo to kill Penance in FFX

Omega in VIII is probably the easiest "superboss" because you can cheese it with Renzo limit break.

This is a part 3 of my split video (because fuck Series S) during my challenge run (with description) and I don't know if Omega's lv scales with your party, but that was easy as fuck.

>Emerald
Beat it on the first try, didn't know it was a massive bitch to most people until years later. It was easier than a good deal of thr normal bosses
>Ruby
Fucking nightmare, took like a day and a half to figure out what I needed to do, no strategy guide back then.
>Ultima
Fought it normally, was difficult but not a disaster.
>Omega
Used Selphie's The End exploit, was great fun. Honestly, FFVIII was one of the most fun games to find exploits in because all the systems were absolutely busted in on way or another.

She loves trains, /v/.

No because I speedran FF7 because I wanted to play Remake asap, it wasn't worth it

>>713131216 (OP)
>Did you ever beat Emerald or Ruby in VII?
Yeah with a guide, and certainly not on my first playthrough.

>>713138176
They were a good way to level up

Sephiroth if he Texan

>>713138176
FF6 didn't really have optional superbosses. The dinosaur forest was good place to level up and I agree the fights were hard but neither the t rex nor brachiosaur had boss with gimmicks vibes. They were simply strong random enemies.

>>713131216 (OP)
I tried for a bit but I wasn't able to beat either. Got pretty close with Emerald I think but lost in the end

>>713131216 (OP)
Only with cheese. Overflow, Slots, and Ungarmax because it's funny every time. Kind of want to replay it and try the Coin cheese next

>make a materia that has a specific use against a singular enemy in the game
>said enemy gets a move that assrapes you... you equipping materia
delightfully devilish

>>713138771
i literally completed my blind playthrough of 7. this game is so ass i had to look up a guide to tell me that i could walk on a fucking pixel. this game is also unbelievably easy, to the point where i have no clue if ultima is even a good materia. its pathetic.

the graphics are trash even for a ps1, they were problaly fine at the time but its like saying mario 64 doesnt look like dogshit. 6 easily clears it with actual spritework and sht that isnt compressed to the nth degree

>>713156865
One materia raises the damage by 1111

>One of the things that makes Emerald Weapon a dangerous opponent is its Aire Tam Storm attack ("Aire Tam" is "Materia" spelled backwards). The attack deals damage to each character equal to the amount of Materia equipped on them multiplied by 1,111. As such, having nine Materia or more equipped on a character means certain death. It is possible to manipulate the characters' Materia configuration as to get All Lucky 7s if a character only has two Materia equipped and 9999 HP when Aire Tam Storm hits.

>>713138176
The elemental dragons were the superbosses for 6. Although they were weak, you get the "ultimate esper" from them like how beating the weapons was how you were intended to get KotR

>>713157231
>beating the weapons was how you were intended to get KotR

False. KotR existed in the og japanese version while the optional Weapons were added to the US, EU and jap international version

>>713131216 (OP)
FUCK
FUCK FUCK FUCK

Bros I had a 100% run (everything except the last fights).
I beat Emerald weapon and when I went into the town to trade it in for the materia.
When leaving Kalm, my disc would freeze.
There was nothing wrong with the disc, it would just freeze.

I got so upset I never played this game again, that was like thirty years ago.

>>713131216 (OP)
Everyone looking forward to Ruby and Emerald being relegated to VR missions in 7Remake-part 3?

>>713137438
>all it really takes is understand how Air Tam works
how are you meant to just to understand that while playing the game naturally? realistically any normal player is going to be stacked out on materia so you won't even see a difference in damage

>>713131602
Just use gravity bro.
even the shitty gravity grenade will do 9999 dmg to it every use until it stops working

And then just use basic attacks/skills/magic/etc

LIIIIIIIIIIVES ALL MORTAL LIIIIIIIIIVES
EXPIIIIIIIIIIRE

Ruby weapon yeah using the weird 4x cut and counter setup. Emerald was a complete pushover by comparison. It literally never used the materia beam on me no matter how many times I fought it and even if it did it was still easy to beat.

>>713132121
im sorry for what happened to you with your dad anon, but he can't hurt you anymore.

>>713157475
>how are you meant to just to understand that while playing the game naturally?
By looking at the attack name and getting slightly curious about it.
> realistically any normal player is going to be stacked out on materia so you won't even see a difference in damage
Realistically some people will in fact NOT equip an armor with most materia slots in order to put on as many materias as possible. It's just you mate.

>>713157434
>Everyone looking forward to 7Remake-part 3?
no

Enemy Skill materia is your friend. Takes only one materia slot and has Big Guard giving you Barrier, MBarrier and Haste to whole party. Outside the Weapons' battle, Enemy Skill also has multiple party hitting elemental attacks, White Wind, Bad Breath and so on. I didnt realize how OP enemy skill is until my 2nd playthrough

>>713158149
False. Loved FF7 in the 90s, bought Remake and Rebirth day 1. Will buy the part 3 day 1 too.

>>713158287
How do you think they'll implement Emerald and Ruby? Or the plot Weapons

>>713157434
>Story bosses: Saphire, Diamond, Ultimate (Mideel)

>>how are you meant to just to understand that while playing the game naturally?
>By looking at the attack name and getting slightly curious about it.
so you're telling me that during a boss fight, you looked at the name of an attack, noted its importance, subsequently took it as a word game and then by happenstance you used it as a clue together with the damage the attack did to figure out the most unique and obscure mechanic in the entire game?

If you buy remakes you're not a true gamer

>>713158463
Yes.

The only non mmo FF superbosses I got filtered by were FFX because I saw the grind and just said fuck that. It's still something I'd like to do sometime though.

>>713149651
they swapped it for some reasons, swords of fury was supposed to be the regular boss theme (source: it sounds like a boss theme and evolution of the battle theme and I am willing to doe on that hill) https://youtu.be/UGZ7y89w0xo?list=RDUGZ7y89w0xo&t=56

>I admit. I payed Kojimbo to kill Penance in FFX
I did it too the first time I ever faced it, fast forward 20 years later and I killed it properly. Turns out he is actually super easy, you're just not allowed to deviate from the strategy or at least it's hard to recover properly, especially in second phase.
